As the title says, cvmfs does not auto mount any filesystems. As a work around I manually created the mount points in /cvmfs and then added the following lines to /etc/fstab:

atlas.cern.ch /cvmfs/atlas.cern.ch cvmfs defaults,_netdev,nodev 0 0
atlas-condb.cern.ch /cvmfs/atlas-condb.cern.ch cvmfs defaults,_netdev,nodev 0 0
grid.cern.ch /cvmfs/grid.cern.ch cvmfs defaults,_netdev,nodev 0 0
sft.cern.ch /cvmfs/sft.cern.ch cvmfs defaults,_netdev,nodev 0 0
cernvm-prod.cern.ch /cvmfs/cernvm-prod.cern.ch cvmfs defaults,_netdev,nodev 0 0
alice.cern.ch /cvmfs/alice.cern.ch cvmfs defaults,_netdev,nodev 0 0
alice-ocdb.cern.ch /cvmfs/alice-ocdb.cern.ch cvmfs defaults,_netdev,nodev 0 0
cms.cern.ch /cvmfs/cms.cern.ch cvmfs defaults,_netdev,nodev 0 0
geant4.cern.ch /cvmfs/geant4.cern.ch cvmfs defaults,_netdev,nodev 0 0
na61.cern.ch /cvmfs/na61.cern.ch cvmfs defaults,_netdev,nodev 0 0
boss.cern.ch /cvmfs/boss.cern.ch cvmfs defaults,_netdev,nodev 0 0

I am currently 3.3% of the way through of a native_theory WU. While having to mount the filesystems through fstab is not ideal it is better than always doing it by hand and better than having to install Virtualbox. I hope this info helps someone else if they run into the issue.
